A huge entry of up to 500 cars will compete at this weekend's
(1-3 July) Legends of Brands Hatch Superprix, which celebrates 50
years of the Historic Sports Car Club.

Single seater categories are headed up by the Historic Race of
Champions, recreating the famous races of the 1960s and 70s.
Several thunderous Formula 5000 cars will contest the class,
including classic Lolas, a Surtees and Gurney Eagle. Also included
is a Chevron B24, recalling Peter Gethin's famous win against
Formula 1 machinery.

There will also be races for Historic Grand Prix cars from the
1930s to mid-1950s

There are many more single-seater categories including Formula
Ford, Formula 3 and Formula 2. A huge contingent of over 100
Formula Junior cars will be split into three grids. They will
celebrate the class that nurtured drivers in the late 1950s and
early 1960s, when a revolution in racing car design moved the
engine from the front of the car to the back.

Touring cars and saloons are superbly represented by two
categories. The popular Super Touring Car Series is headed up by
the Patrick Watts Peugeot 406. The field also contains the 1992
title-winning BMW, plus several Honda Accords, Ford Mondeos, Audis,
Volvos and much more. A previous era is recalled with the pre-66
cars of the Historic Touring Car Championship, where American
muscle cars battle European Lotus Cortinas, Minis, Hillman Imps and
more.

A huge field of cars will contest the GT and Sportscar Cup for
pre-66 machinery, including the Austin Healey 3000, Jaguar E-Type,
Lotus Eleven and Porsche 911. The Road Sports Categories are also
awash with classic GT cars, from the Lotus 7s and Elans, MGs,
Porsches and Triumphs of the Historic category, to the 70s Datsun
240Z, Lotus Europa and TVRs.

The Guards Trophy also features GTs alongside Sports Racers such
as the Chevron B6 and B8 and Lotus 23. Later prototype cars will
contest the Pre 80s Endurance race for Le Mans-style machines.
